OPOS instant fruit jam recipe sugarfree

This instant jam recipe with strawberry is credited to OPOS- one pot one shot - since I have followed Rama Krishnan's basic method of using a cooker and layering the OPOS way. For all OPOS recipes, you need to get started with a 2 or 3-liter pressure cooker. Please do not scale up unless you are well-versed with the OPOS basics.

A Little About Strawberry Benefits

Strawberries are a refreshingly healthy treat for the summer season - and this is the first time I have bought a packet of these beautiful berries. Bursting with antioxidants, strawberries are loaded with flavonoids or anthocyanins, which have the potential to lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases and heart attack by almost 32 percent. Strawberry benefits for women are manifold.Berries are also rich in flavonoid quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory properties and helps lower the risk of atherosclerosis. This flavonoid helps prevent you from the damage caused by bad or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.As they are a rich source of potassium, strawberry benefits those with high blood pressure. Did you know that a low potassium intake poses a high risk of blood pressure as much as a high sodium consumption?All berries are loaded with water, so moderate consumption can help you keep hydrated and refreshed in the hot season.Not only this, the fiber in strawberries benefit those with constipation issues.A good source of folic acid, strawberries are a perfect treat for pregnant women, helping protect the fetus from neural tube defects.Additionally, high fiber and antioxidant content means that strawberries are a good choice for diabetics, as these have a low glycemic index and do not cause blood sugar spike. However, I will do more research into it. Of course, this strawberry sugarfree jam recipe is not for diabetics.I have always loved strawberry flavor in ice creams and plan to use this instant strawberry fruit jam for different experiments, viz. kulfi, cookies, and cakes (may be).Let's get back to the instant fruit jam recipe.

How to make instant strawberry jam OPOS

Wash and chop all the fruits.

Take your 3-liter PC.

Spread a layer of chopped berries first.On top of the berries, spread peeled and chopped apples.Top apple with orange pieces.

Spread a layer of raw cane sugar/jaggery powder.Sprinkle lime juice on top.Cover and cook on a medium flame for 15 minutesThere may be a little spewing but worry not. If you want to scale up, take a big pressure cooker.

Open the cooker and blend or mash the softened fruits.You will love the fibrous fruit in jam.

Allow it to cool down before storing in a sterilized glass jar. Make sure the jar is completely dry before pouring in the colorful beauty.The jam will continue to thicken as it cools down.

I have heard you right. Thanks for stopping by dear. I am glad you find the instant jam recipe useful. By the way, did you give the instant tutti fruiti recipe a try? Do give these recipes for beginners a try. You'll never go back the traditional ways.

You can skip orange and prepare the jam without it. Regarding your query on cooking fruits. Absolutely heating fruits reduces their nutritive value, but not eliminates it completely. I do not make jams often. But jamming/pickling is just another way of preserving fruits when for off season, though I do not preserve things for long. Jamming is just another way of bringing variety to the table.

A whole wheat sponge, that too, with minimum ingredients? No, I am not kidding. This baked beauty before you is the result of a successful experiment with whole grains. I am glad about the results. Now I can make guilt-free cakes and rusks for my loved ones. I am so happy to share the result and recipe with you all.
I wanted to make it a vegan whole wheat sponge. Unfortunately, I did not have coconut milk or almond milk handy at that time, so I preferred to go with dairy milk. But I am sure the result should be the same (rather, more flavorful) with dairy-free milk. I could add plain water too, but reserved the thought for another baking session.

If you want to learn how to make almond milk or coconut milk at home, it is quite simple. I never buy these from the market; rather, prefer to make everything at home.

Why need an electric mixer when you can prepare the dough with hands? After all, not everyone has the fortune to buy one. Worry not! These simple cookie recipes come to you with simple ingredients and require easily available equipment. Even a spoon/spatula can do the work of a whisk. In fact, when I did not have a hand whisk, I would use a spoon. I do have an electric whisk, but I a…
